The book also has a diary of the author on day-to-day developments of Chinas war against India in 1962, the debacle of our armed forces and helplessness of government at New Delhi.<br/><br/>Written in readable, easy style, the book also describes the pulls and pressures for rupees devaluation which turned out to be a disaster for the nation.
